Is this really where we are heading?
Think this is is ridiculous and couldn’t possibly happen? It already has.
An 85-year-old woman from northern Italy, Oriella Cazzanello, who was mentally and physically healthy, disappeared without telling her relatives where she was going and paid €10,000 for an assisted suicide in a Swiss Lifecircle Association clinic. She ended her life because she was lonely and ‘weighed down by aging and the inevitable loss of the looks of which she was proud.’
Her lawyer received her ashes and death certificate from the clinic and broke the news to her family.
Care Not Killing was set up in 2006 as an alliance of individuals and organisations which brings together disability and human rights groups, healthcare providers, and faith-based bodies, with the aims of promoting more and better palliative care; ensuring that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed; and helping the public to understand the consequences of any further weakening of the law.
